Last Sunday, I sat at the back because I told my friend that I didn't want to recite. But guess what I did? I recited. Twice, I think. Or probably thrice, esp. when no one was raising his or her hand.
As a teacher, I know the feeling when no one wants to talk in a group class. You can't help but feel inefficient and incompetent. Yes, it also feels stupid. And it gets stressful in a one-on-one session when the lone tutee doesn't want to answer. So I kept on reciting when nobody wanted to talk or when everyone was shy to share during community meditation. Too bad we can't share our thoughts on other people's sharing. I would have said a lot of things.
